Betting Trends for vs
These two teams were involved in a high-scoring affair not long ago as the Fighting Irish edged out Syracuse 88-87 at the Carrier Dome, and I once again think we will see a close game against two fighting teams. The young Syracuse Orange have started to buy into the historic Jim Boeheim defense as they are holding their opponents to an average of 62.9 PPG in ACC play, and I think they will keep the Fighting Irish potent scoring attack in check (72.5 PPG). The biggest difference between these two teams has been the effort from Notre Dame on the defensive side of the court as they are amongst the worst in the ACC in points allowed as they are giving up 75 PPG. The Orange have found a 1-2 punch in conference play with Elijah Hughes (19.7 PPG) and Buddy Boeheim (18.3 PPG), and they will give the Notre Dame defense all kinds of fits. Syracuse is playing good basketball as they have rattled off 3 straight wins, and they continue their success here with a small upset. Final Score Prediction, Syracuse Orange win and cover ATS 74-70.
